Are you are saying that even though the protesters choose to be there the gov should be allowed to decide what is better for the people instead of the deciding for themselves? This is not affecting anyone that is not protesting, there are bad people in any group.

Bottom line is civil disobedience has shaped this world and still does like in the Arab uprising that unfortunately turned eventually violent in some case. But shutting down protesters like this scares me. Even if i don't agree with every messages they are trying to communicate.
